All competitions for the World Youth Championship have ended, and Morocco finally defeated Argentina to win the championship. Theathletic selected the top five rising stars of this World Youth Championship.
Yasser Zabri (Morocco)
The Moroccan team defeated Argentina 2-0 in the final, becoming the second African team to win the World Youth Championship after Ghana in 2009. The Moroccan team showed excellent defensive counterattack capabilities during the game, and Zabri was the core of the team's offense. He scored twice in the final, scoring a total of 5 goals in the entire tournament, and had 3 shots that forced his opponents to score own goals. His performance was impressive as he not only had a keen nose in front of goal but also displayed a variety of scoring options including free kicks, headers and penalties.
Milton Delgado (Argentina)
Although Argentina lost in the final, Delgado still performed well. The 20-year-old midfielder already has extensive top-flight experience at Boca Juniors. He showed excellent balance and calm temperament in the game, averaging 5.8 steals and interceptions per game, the highest in this tournament. Delgado performed well on both ends of the offense and defense and is an indispensable stabilizer for the Argentine team.
Kremarski (USA)
Although the US team was eliminated in the quarterfinals, Kremarski's performance is still worthy of praise. The Parma midfielder scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists in the competition, and finally won the Golden Boot award. He scored a hat-trick against New Caledonia and scored a key goal in the elimination of Italy, demonstrating his ability as a versatile midfielder.
Pablo Garcia (Spain)
Garcia performed well in this summer's U-19 European Youth Championship, helping Spain defeat Germany 6-5. Although he didn't shine as brightly in the U-20 World Cup, he still showed his energy and skills. He attempted 19 shots in the game, eight of which were outside the penalty area. Garcia has excellent left-foot skills and is expected to gain a foothold in the Real Betis first team in the future.
Gilberto Mora (Mexico)
Mora is the youngest starting player in this U-20 World Cup, only 17 years old. He scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in the event, and created 17 opportunities, the most among participating players. Mora scored twice against Spain, demonstrating his outstanding personal skills and creativity. Although he is still young, he has accumulated rich experience in the club and national team and has a bright future.
